Stages and Look debut co-developed indoor cycling pedal system

Stages has collaborated with Look to develop and launch a premium indoor cycling pedal system, bringing to the market the SP4, designed specifically to deliver as an indoor specific pedal system.

Close up of Stages and Look developed indoor specific pedal attached to Stages branded crankMade in France, the SP4 – compatible with Look delta or SPD cleats – or any athletic shoe when the Stages Platform Cage is utilized, utilizes both Stages and Look patents and design expertise to bring indoor riders a pedal able to accommodate nearly every shoe used in gyms or home training.

Look’s extensive knowledge of clipless pedals ensured the new SP4 features an axle designed to exceed previous limitations and durability, and has been tested to exceed the rigors of gym or home indoor bike use, while giving the rider a pedal that can adapt to whatever shoe they chose to use.

Pat Warner, Stages Cycling’s Senior Vice President of Product Development: “We are very excited to partner with Look Cycle, combining all their experience in making the highest quality pedals with our indoor technology to offer the most durable and adaptive pedal on the market.”

The indoor bike, especially in flywheel-based designs, has some unique pedal stresses and performance needs. This partnership gave us a chance to ensure the pedal we helped develop really addressed the market, while improving on the durability and quality of current offerings.

We believe our 30+ years of making pedals translates into a truly better indoor pedal.”
